Alex D'IciDecember 1, 2014great coffee roasted on presence, nice patio, and a true neighborhood establishment for many years, one of DC's first independent cafes.
Get the special Baklava, very tasty: Its called "Burma" made of a Wrap of shredded filo around wholesome pistachios golden brown toasted, sweetened with sugar syrup. YUM
Sarai JohnsonOctober 13, 2015I live for bacon and cream cheese bagels. It's a strange request but they've gotten it right 2/5 times so that's something.
dereqJanuary 31, 2014They roast over 15 different beans on site. Also, they do a "long pull" for any espresso served without milk.
- Love watching them roast the beans in-store! The coffee always tastes great here and I enjoy their bagels too.
Christopher PeliOctober 29, 2011One of the few places that puts cream cheese on a bagel for you (and they are generous to boot)
Joanna ChampagneJuly 23, 2010Used to live near here, the lattes are great and the Almond croissants are amazing. Great to sit outside on an nice day.
- Vegan cookies and soy lattes! Also, try an everything bagel with hummus, tomato and avocado. So good!
Best coffee in DC, and who else roast their beans on premise. Hands down the best.
- Zahra ZeinaliJune 25, 2018Hair in my coffee. The medium was also massive! My americano tasted like drip coffee. Pastries were OK.
Cranberry muffin is full of cranberries on the outside, but lacks them in the middle, says Colin. Iced coffees are cool and delicious.
Jose BoneOctober 7, 2018This place has a very rude and disrespectful owner. On top of that, device is slow and the coffee is garbage.
Bottom line: better coffee than dunkin donuts around the corner
Valorie ClarkSeptember 29, 2012There are better independent coffee shops all over DC. Don't waste your money here.
- The turkey meatball panini is nice, but there's not enough meat in it.
Nicko M.March 6, 2010Fruit plate is great but tuna sandwich is horrid. Service is so-so. Go to trio instead.
